My dad often used to ask my sisters and I "how much is your integrity worth?" when we were faced with a decision to do right or wrong.
Recently we have been talking about integrity in school, so I started asking Creighton the question "how much is your integrity worth?" Being my firstborn, rule-follower--he will not sell his integrity. I have asked him if it's worth a million or billion dollars and he adamently says no.
The other night we were in the car and Creighton asked Addy out-of-the-blue "Addy, how much is your integrity worth? Two thousand?" Here's how the conversation went from there...
A: "Mmm...Fourteen hundred."
Me: "Addy, do you know what that means?"
A: "No."
Me: "How much is your integrity worth means how much would it take for you to do something bad or dishonest. So, would you do something bad or dishonest for a million dollars?"
A: "Yeah! Well, actually, I would do it for a dollar!"
Creighton
Creighton is 8 years old and in second grade. He loves school, reading and playing games.
Addy

Tyson
Tyson is 2 and is by far our hardest toddler! He likes being outside, trucks, trains and passies... =)
Mocha
Mocha is our puppy--she is 3 years old. She has TONS of energy which is great so she can keep up with the action here! She has quickly become one of the kids and we couldn't imagine things without her (well, somedays...)! No, she's not peeing in the picture, just sitting! =)
